Pipe Installation and Replacement (Galvanized Pipe Mitigation)

Pipe Installation and Replacement (Galvanized Pipe Mitigation) FAQ

Q1: Why should I replace galvanized pipes?

A: Galvanized pipes corrode and restrict water flow over time. Replacing them improves water quality, pressure, and system reliability — and helps prevent costly leaks.

Q2: How can I tell if my home has galvanized pipes?

A: Galvanized pipes are typically gray and magnetic. If your home was built before the 1960s, it may still have galvanized plumbing. We can inspect and confirm for you.

Q3: Do all the pipes in my home need to be replaced at once?

A: Not necessarily. In some cases, we can replace sections in phases to manage costs. We’ll provide clear recommendations after inspecting your system.

Q4: What materials do you use to replace old pipes?

A: We commonly use PEX and copper, both of which are durable, safe, and meet modern plumbing standards.

Q5: How long does pipe replacement take?

A: Smaller projects can be completed in a day or two, while full-home pipe replacement may take longer. We’ll provide a clear timeline and minimize disruption to your home or business.
